For some reason in wine, since I updated to .90, WingLoader can't seem to find the Wing1_wcdx.exe and SM1_wcdx.exe executables. It finds everything else just fine but with those two I get this error I'm very much at a loss as to why that is. I checked those locations, as far as wine is...

Not sure which version of dosbox you are using, but I would give doxbox-staging a try. It's under constant development where as vanilla .74 is like a decade old at this point.. https://dosbox-staging.github.io/

Nope, it was a neat consistent esthetic. I seem to remember the mac version of System Shock being red, but maybe I'm wrong on that. I'll have to go dig for it at my father's house. Actually I've never even heard of Shadow Caster. I'll have to check that one out [EDIT] Google to the...

Ah the hobbs scene. Unfortunately it isn't in the PC version (Though should be I feel). I would think a player normally would have triggered when they check their locker in the barracks. Similar to the angel message. Though that would take some executable editing to do it that way. So...

As a backup idea If it turns out there is no call, and assuming the news videos are suppose to play before or after another video, why not just embed the news vid in the same file as the neighboring vid? Does the game care how long the video file should be? Granted that's a distribution mess...

It's been too long, always happy to see your work sir! Your imagination and your character portraits are just top notch!

Out of curiosity, (I have NVidia so It was never a problem for me), but is it an issue if you run saga with the latest Freespace Open? I would think the best way to get it now would be to install it through the Knossos.NET app. The old installers are running a fork of some really ancient...

The artical seems to be talking about steam sales alone, who knows what the GOG ones are. But that's very promising! Maybe a remake of SS2 will be on the table? I sure hope they do.

Holly cow, really! @Howard Day Bravo sir!

No, the loader is what actually plays the audio in the background as well as launch and play the video cut-scene before opening SM1. It's not played from the WC1 KS executables.

GOG is the dosbox version correct? I'd first check that dosbox is set to emulate a joystick in the configuration file.

Out of curiosity Is there a benefit from newer versions of OGL? Why not make 3.2 the minimum if it can run that?

What do you mean you arn't a skilled artist? That is some damn fine work! If you had told me these were hidden assets from the first game, I'd have believed you.

Not sure where the technology is at, but I've heard amazing things. I wonder if it will soon be possible to feed an AI samples of the WC Sega CD version to generate new audio for SM1 and 2. If not now then id imagine it's only a matter of time.

Or the Snes one for that matter :) I'm still hoping one day it will be found.

Agreed, not matter what it will take a heck of a long time! But that is awesome!

Yeah, that would be a monster job, most likely a lot harder than what you did with the audio for wc1 and the sm1 video. (That is a neat trick with the loader program). It would have to play in the foreground in this case. Probably require some DLL injection tricks like they do with Prophecy.

Truley ,Thank you for your part in making the definitive version of WC Kilrathi Saga! It's such a blast of a play through. I was surprised by your inclusion of WC3. Those recommended patches really do help! It's actually playable on Windows 11. So really thanks for that! I can't tell you...

Fantastic Job! So much looking forward to to giving this a try!

Hear! Hear! Happy Birthday Chris!
